Ibots are not covered in Ohio because nobody seems to be able to show a medical necessity for it. I don't think you can even get a peremobile in Ohio using Medicaid. On the other end of the spectrum, they want you to prove why you cannot use a Pride Jazzy or a Quicky. I understand Pride is working on a tilt in space system and a recline, Maybe they will revive the Everest & Jennings name. (They tried to stick a paraplegic into a hopped up 4wheel scooter over at the rehab center) I feel any upturn in Medicaid will have to come from the low end products outperforming expectations. The space shuttle works most of the time and it is built by the lowest bidders. I've always felt the quickies were a low cost quality product. Anyone else got any feedback on wheelchairs that Medicaid has funded or won't fund. (You aren't suppose to say they won't pay for stuff unless they have been rejected and no product is rejected solely because of price.) What BS! Someone set me straight? We spent 70 years spouting about how stupid Communists were with 5 year plans and now we go out of our way to create a health care system that imitates an economic plan that failed for the exact same lack of ingenuity and practicality. EOR (end of rant) Happy New Years, john
